Markets are put on lock down after a certain sell point for a given session. I believe the current sell off point is 12% of overall value (could be less). It is not based on weekly or yearly percentages. That was created to avoid a market crash. Basically, you can't trade.

If the market drops 1100 points it will lock.

I'll tell you what I'm doing.. I'm going long on solid stocks and gold. Anything to keep the value of the $USD. Just because Europe and Asia falls 10% , doesn't mean we have to. Theres a lot of Overseas money coming in to force US to capitulate.

Companies with strong balance sheets and have cash. Don't pay attention to the DOW, watch the S&P Futures. Don't buy what is going on until you get confirmation from all the indicies.
